Time was, when all the serious work work of the world was centered in the efforts of adults, that state and county fairs were just places for diversion for the young folk, who had little or no part in the . activities and were not at all responsible for the success of the enterprise. They came, gaped in awe at the big pumpkins, the prize livestock and were hustled out of the way to ride on the merry-go-rounds, eat popcorn and drink red lemonade. Things have changed, and modern fairs are as much an exposition exposit-ion for and by young people as their elders. The Utah State Fair of 1931 will be an ample demonstration of this fact. Not only are the exhibits for yong people given greater prominence than ever in the 4-H, Future Farmers, Farm-ers, Industrial and Farm Mechanics sections and public schools an colleges exhibits but the entertainment features feat-ures are of high grade, furnishing good, clean diversion for everyone.
